Pro Touring is all about building on the strengths of the host vehicle, and everything that was right and good about the original has been lovingly preserved in this stunning 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible. Restored in 2010 with an extensive list of custom features, its heart is a 427 CI big-block V-8 with a polished intake manifold, valve covers and air cleaner, tube headers feeding dual exhaust and a billet serpentine-belt system. An aluminum radiator and dual electric fans maintain operating temperature, and the 427 is backed by a Tremec 5-speed driving a narrowed 12-bolt rear end with Detroit Speed Quadra-link rear suspension. A Quadralink subframe ties the undercarriage together for increased torsional rigidity. The Camaro’s rear wheel wells were mini-tubbed to accommodate its extra-wide BF Goodrich radials on Budnik billet wheels, giving it that “just right” ground-hugging stance. Power rack-and-pinion steering and Baer 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors are major contributors to the handling department. The Camaro’s bright red paint and black sport stripes are well complemented with a Cambria Black soft top that when lowered is capped off with a color-matching red top boot. A cowl-induction hood and front and rear spoilers are classic fare for Chevrolet’s pony car, but the full custom interior is where the story takes a different turn. The original dash was removed and replaced with another blast from Chevrolet past in the form of a 1959 Impala unit. Surprisingly, it looks right at home within the Camaro’s confines. The details are new; Auto Meter digital gauges occupy the instrument cluster, including a 120 MPH speedometer with an integrated 8,000 RPM tach, and billet switchgear is accompanied by billet vents for the Vintage Air system. Finished with red custom upholstery and fitted with bucket seats, a custom console and power windows, locks and trunk, this Pro Touring Camaro is a dream ride for the open road.
